Review
These little essays are beautifully written, trenchant, witty and informative... Enjoy the lovely prose and the tough precise intelligence ... If a central informing theme is to be found in the Medawars' dictionary, it is an appeal for a disciplined and critical mind. Two distinguished scientists have made sense of their speciality instead of mystery. Entries on altruism, clones, and simple sweating combine authority with humanity--and even wit. "Aristotle to Zoos" is a recommended introduction to the problems of life science and their profound relevance to our daily lives. P.B. and J. S. Medawar are masterful guides...The Medawars' work is a model of scientific prose. It is written to delight and to teach.
From the Back Cover
The Medawars have ranged over the whole of the subject of the biological sciences, and have combined within one work an enormous amount of up-to-the-minute information on a variety of biological or medical-biological topics.
